How We Isolate Value in Volatile Markets

Traditional research often lags behind real-world commercial shifts. At Marmara Economic Research, we close that gap by utilizing proprietary direct-feed analytics from port authorities, customs, and private industrial networks.

Our approach is built on three specific boundaries: we only accept data that can be cross-verified through physical logistics, we exclude speculative hearsay, and we focus exclusively on sectors that represent at least 5% of Turkey's GDP.
